Introduction

Foreword

The revised Ironworker (Generalist) Program Outline is intended as a guide for instructors, apprentices, employers of apprentices, as well as for the use of industry organizations, regulatory bodies, and provincial and federal governments. It reflects updated standards based on the new Ironworker (Generalist) National Occupational Analysis (2010) and British Columbia industry and instructor subject matter experts.

Practical instruction by demonstration and student participation should be integrated with classroom sessions. Safe working practices, even though not always specified in each operation or topic, are an implied part of the program and should be stressed throughout the apprenticeship.

The Program Outline was prepared with the advice and assistance of the Ironworker Governance Committee. It will form the basis for further updating of the British Columbia Ironworker (Generalist) Program by the British Columbia Construction Industry Training Organization (CITO) on behalf of the Industry Training Authority (ITA).

Each competency is to be evaluated through the use of written examination in which the learner must achieve a minimum of 70% in order to receive a passing grade. The types of questions used on these exams must reflect the cognitive level indicated by the learning objectives and the learning tasks listed in the related competencies.

Practical exercises are included for those competencies that require a practical component. These exercises indicate the type of measurable and observable practical performance to be demonstrated by the learner as proof of attainment of the skills. The criteria for evaluating the practical exercises should be objective and consistent in reflecting the standards of the industry. These exercises are intended to ensure consistency in the learning experience of trainees at all institutions. Safety is an inherent part of all theory and practical assignments.

Qualifications in WHMIS, First Aid, Confined Space, Fall Protection and Aerial Boom Lift are all suggested and are required for some practical components of the program.

SAFETY ADVISORY Be advised that references to the WorkSafeBC safety regulations contained within these materials do not/may not reflect the most recent Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (the current Standards and Regulation in BC can be obtained on the following website: http://www.worksafebc.com. Please note that it is always the responsibility of any person using these materials to inform him/herself about the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation pertaining to his/her work.
